Description

Only my 2nd time taking a pix of a comet. I had to go to the beach as the comet was way down low around 17° above the horizon around 8:30 p.m. my local time. Furthermore, I'm in Australia where it's summer and the sun sets late so there was very little imaging time.

The Lum was captured using my Takahashi BabyQ FSQ85ED with 1.01x flattener, ASI6200MM Pro with Antlia Pro Lum filter. Sensor was cooled to -10C, Bin1, Gain 100 Offset 50, and the final image was 38x 1 min subs.
